It's about time for new tires on the front of my valiant (choppy, lumpy, and wearing on the inside). Before spending money on tires I would like to align the front end. Yesterday I pulled the car into the shop put it on a lift and said a little prayer to the god of rusty bolts. The first cam bolt I tried turned relatively easily. The second bolt is frozen solid. The suspension is original 1965 and I expected the bolts to be rusted to the inner shell but is there an easy way to remove the bolts. The last time I did this I had to cut the bolts off with a grinder. I also know that a sawzall does not much more than make noise against these bolts. I definately want to stay away from the torch. Any suggestions. |

Soak it in PB Blaster. Spray it on and let it soak in. The suspension bolts on my '64 came off with no real problem. |

Despite lots of penetrating oil and patience, my adjusting bolt eventually just snapped off and I ended up cutting through the saddle with a Dremel 409 disk. That worked, but was slow going. |
